Zigzag Needle Plate
Closely spaced zigzag stitches are called satin stitches. This is an attractive
stitch used for appliqueing, monogramming, buttonhole makir_g.
Whenever you are using this stitch, it is well to remember to loosen the
tension of the top thread slightly. The wider the stitch you make, the looser
the tension should be.
If you are stitching on a very soft fabric, it is well to use a backing of tissue
paper or interfacing for a well formed stitch. Puckering of the material will
be eliminated and the bobbin thread will not be visible on the right side of
the fabric.
As with all special stitches, it is best to make a sample design on your fabric
before starting the design on the garment,
